Have you considered using a "Hiclone"?
I am using one in my isuzu at the moment on petro diesel and they work
dramaticly , they improve the air/fuel mixing in the chamber.

Hi Dana and All,
If there ever was a use for producer gas this
is it.
The ineff of the heat lost to make producer
fuel gas isn't a problem because it can be put to use
drying the crop too.
Use the leftover biomass for the fuel and the
ash for the new crop.

Better in the sense that there is no computer that is sensitive to viscosity
changes, but is that lack of prechamber still going to be a problem long
term?
You minimize the risk by using biodiesel as startup and shut down fuel, make
sure the SVO is very clean, that it's heated suffic
Hi Mati -
The last I looked at Elsbett site, (and tried to sort through it), it

So do you think that Tdi's should be able to run SVO, at least as far as
atomization is concerned?

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you think a Hiclone would be redundant with a

Thanks for your reply. The injection pump is mechanical, and it's a Bosch rotary

Yes, methyl hydrate, methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, and methanol are all
the same. The only difference is purity, where methyl hydrate may only be
98-99% pure, and lab grade methanol is 99.9% pure.
I'm not sure if this matters, but I suspect not. I will find out shortly, as I
can't afford to use
Thanks.

"TDI's run fine on SVO." Ok, well, I guess that's the definitive answer.
And fuel magnets will save you a ton of money. And Spinny things will
increase horsepower, save fuel, etc.

Good idea, but too late... I couldn't wait, and since it was only about 400ml
after
washing, I fed it directly into the filter on my Jetta TD. No problems, it
seemed to run
a bit quieter after the BD finally got worked through. I figured it would only

short while for it to run through

Yes, methyl hydrate is methanol. CH3 refers to methyl, and OH refers
